Voter ID Legislative Update

From: Arkansas Coalition for Protecting the Right to Vote

If you were not aware, voter I.D. passed out of State Agencies
committee a few minutes ago with a 13-6-1 vote. One Democrat
abstained. You'll be notified who that was as soon as I know.

Going forward, we are doing a great job of pressuring Dems and many of
the fence sitters have been pushed to vote our way because of our
efforts. Keep it up. Use the Facebook graphics with the legislators
and their contact info and refer to the talking points we have made
available.

Republicans to pressure going forward:
Baird, Hobbs, Bragg, Hickerson, Kerr, Shepherd, and Carter.

Do not stop. We have only a few more days and we all need to make our
final push. Call in the afternoons/evenings and during the lunch hour.
Make sure as you have people calling that they are doing so at the
best and most likely times to be heard so as to be effective as
possible. Write letters, send emails, tweet, facebook post, call call
call to stop Voter i.d.
Thank you all for your work
History has already taught us the intent of laws that suppress ones
ability to vote.
